Fyrdmen vs Feudal Sgts

[The_Emperor]

I have been playing another English Campaign in MTW: VI and I noticed that Fyrdmen and Feudal Sgts have the same cost, unit size, and bonuses in their unit descriptions... and they are both around in the early period.

So who's the best?

Check the spreadshit from the download section of the Org. There has to be a difference. Might not be too obvious.

For example, pikeman s*u*ks, given general stats and the cost, until you see the cav defence bonus http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

There may not be much of a difference.

In the VI campaign, Fyrdmen are a unique unit and are handy to have when you are the saxons, mercians, and I think northumbrians. Feudal Sergeants are not available at this time.

In the MTW campaigns, Fyrdmen are only available as rebels and Feudal Sergeants are available to alot of factions. At work now but if I recall correctly Fyrdmen do have a lower purchase and support cost than Feudal Sergeants.

Hmm, so thats where all those disbanded troops went to... Explains why the +80% upgrade works so well http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

...and also why it is so expensive
